"Xlitol tastes great sort of a fresh, sweetness. I also use stevia plus but find Xlitol is easier to work with. I hear it's good for teeth also. Buying it by the pound from Vitacost is a good value."

"I started using xylitol as a sweetner when research indicated that it did not cause a rise in blood sugar. It performed as advertised. Then I began looking for a product that had properties similar to sugar. Jarrow's Xyli Pure is smooth and sprinkles like sugar without clumping. This is the best product of its type that I have found."

"We have recently discovered Xylitol. It is an excellent, healthy alternative to sugar, and artificial sweeteners. We've only used it in liquids, and sometimes it has a slight aftertaste, but overall, we like it."
